...more it may depress you ... because way down in the depths of your romantic soul you'll know this is how men should be. These characters don't play with their own intellects for our delectation. They rarely even talk. Their spirits shine with a brilliance we've lost sight of, and they are simply beautiful, the bad ones even in their evil...
...groups that follow the two dreams are as different as the dreams themselves. Paunchy suburban couples from Hartford and Los Angeles come to see Southern Hospitality. They are displeased with the increasing velocity of their modern life; and the sight of calm acres make them smile. They gladly plunk down their admission fees to see the remnants of the old days in Natchez and Richmond.

The FCC and Aubrey's CBS bosses thought that this was a little strange, especially since the shows were dogs (The Reporter, The Baileys of Balboa, The Car a Williams Show). In addition...
...paragraph for mistakes, squeezed into the loops. Hunter's camera is still a touch self-conscious. Too many zoom shots from point of view. Some angles which scream Staged, viz. shooting a collapse from behind a sofa so that suddenly the subject drops from sight. Some over-cute editorializing: Emilie walking beneath a marquee which proclaims "Thoroughly Modern Millie"; Elizabeth walking beneath a traffic sign which reads Playground. Hardly worth getting upset about...
